OVEN TIMER OPERATION

Note: Timer must be set to 'Time of Day' and 'Manual' before the oven can be used.

AUTOMATIC COOKING

The Main Oven can be controlled by the Automatic Timer.

HINTS ON AUTOMATIC COOKING

1. Select foods which will require the same cooking time and temperature.2. To ensure food does not cool down and require reheating, set the end time so the food is ready

when you require it.3. Always ensure that meat and poultry is defrosted before placing in the oven.4. Whenever possible, take food out of the refrigerator and keep it as cool as possible.5. If cooking food that requires frying before placing in the oven for automatic cooking, keep the

delay time to a minimum.6. Never place hot or warm food in the oven for delay start cooking as it could cause the oven to be

warm and produce harmful bacteria in the food.7. We advise that dishes containing left-over cooked poultry or meat, e.g. Shepherd's Pie, should

not be cooked automatically if there is to be a delay period.8. Ensure that delay start times are kept to a minimum to prevent bacterial growth in food.9. Wine or beer may ferment and cream may curdle during the delay period so it is best to add

these ingredients just before serving.10.Foods which discolour should be protected by coating in fat or tossing in water to which lemon

juice has been added, prior to placing food in the oven.11.Dishes containing liquid should not be filled too full to prevent boiling over.12.Food should be well sealed (but not airtight) in a container to prevent the loss of liquid during

cooking. Aluminium foil gives a good seal.13.Always ensure that food is piping hot and cooked thoroughly before serving.14.Only reheat food once.

TemperaturesThe recommended temperatures given are for conventional and fan ovens. When usinga fan oven it will be necessary to reduce the cooking time by 10 minutes per hour andlower the temperature by up to 20°C. Also, in the majority of cases, it is not necessaryto pre-heat the oven. However, pre-heating is recommended when cooking items suchas Yorkshire puddings, whisked sponges and bread. Your experience with the cookerwill enable you to select the cooking time and temperature best suited for your recipe.

CondensationCondensation may become evident on the inner door and water may drip through thevent. This is normal when heat and moisture are present and may be a result of any ofthe following:1. Kitchen temperature and ventilation.2. The moisture content of the food eg. meat, roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding,

roasting meat, etc.3. The quantity of the food being cooked at any one time.

The Working of the Heating ZonesHeating only occurs within the marked circular cooking zones. The zones heat up andcool down quicker, providing greater controllability for sensitive foods. Each heatingzone is equipped with a thermal limiter which is a safety cut-out which prevents theceramic glass from overheating. After several minutes at full power without a pan onthe heating zone the thermal limiter will switch the heating elements off and onautomatically to avoid any damage to the ceramic glass.

Choice of SaucepansIt is essential that the saucepan's you use on the ceramic hob are suitable.

ALWAYS USE:

• Good quality pans with smooth, flat, heavy bases.• saucepan's manufactured from aluminium (enamelled or machined) or stainless

steel.• Correct size saucepan's. The base of the pan must cover the heating zone

completely.• saucepan's with lids which are well fitting to reduce cooking time and energy use.

NEVER USE:

• Pans with thin, distorted or uneven bases as these will extend cooking times, wasteelectricity and cause damaging, local hotspots on the glass surface.

• Pans with ridged or recessed bases.• Pans with damaged or rough bases which could scratch the glass surface.• Glass or glass ceramic utensils.

CARE OF THECERAMIC HOB

IMPORTANTIMPORTANTIMPORTANTIMPORTANTIMPORTANT - As with any cooking appliance there could be some fire risk attachedto the heating of oil, particularly for deep fat frying, cooking utensils containing oilmust not be left unattendedmust not be left unattendedmust not be left unattendedmust not be left unattendedmust not be left unattended (e.g. to answer the telephone) on or in close proximityto the patterned cooking areas.

1. Use a deep pan, large enough to completely cover the appropriate heating area.2. Never fill the pan more than one-third full with fat or oil.3. Never leave oil or fat unattended during the heating or cooking period.4. Do not try to fry too much food at a time, especially frozen food. This only lowers

the temperature of the oil or fat too much, resulting in greasy food.5. Always dry food thoroughly before frying, and lower it slowly into the hot oil or fat.

Frozen foods, in particular, will cause frothing and spitting, if added too quickly.6. Never heat fat, or fry, with a lid on the pan.7. Keep the outside of the pan clean and free from streaks of oil or fat.8. Never allow excessive splashing of oil onto the hob.

Safety requirements for deep fat fryingIn the unfortunate event of a chip pan fire:1. Switch OffOffOffOffOff the electricity supply.

NEVERNEVERNEVERNEVERNEVER attempt to move the pan - burns and injuries are caused almost invariablyby picking up the burning pan and rushing outside with it.

2. Smother flames with a fire blanket or damp cloth.NEVERNEVERNEVERNEVERNEVER use a fire extinguisher to put out a pan fire, as the force of the extinguisheris likely to tip the pan over.NEVERNEVERNEVERNEVERNEVER use water to extinguish oil or fat fires.When smothering the flames DO ENSURE that you FACE and ARMS are WELLPROTECTED from the flames to save you from becoming hurt.

3. After the fire has been extinguished LEAVE THE PAN TO COOL FOR AT LEAST 60MINUTES BEFORE MOVING IT.

4. If you fail to put the fire out, call the fire brigade immediately.


HIGH SPEED GRILL

CAUTION: Accessible parts may become hot when the grill is in use - children should bekept away.

Your cooker is not fitted with a conventional type of grill. The high speed grill isdesigned to reduce your grilling times. It is quicker because it takes less time to warmup from cold. Conventional grills require 5 minutes pre-heat before food is placedbeneath them, but for normal grilling the high speed grill can be used from coldwithout any pre-heat. However, when toasting, optimum performance is achieved bypreheating the grill for about 1 minute.

Note:You will notice that the grill elements are protected by a wire mesh. This stops youfrom touching live parts.

DO NOT under any circumstances insert objects into the grill mesh as this coulddamage or break the element tubes OR if the grill is on cause an electric shock.

During use the mesh may become soiled. Do not attempt to clean it while the grill isstill on. Turn the cooker off at the control unit and wait until it has cooled down beforecleaning.

Care must be taken to ensure the grill mesh is not distorted - DO NOT store the grillpan handle on the grill pan grid when the rod shelf is in the top runner position.

There are two halves to the grill, one on the left and one on the right. You can chooseto have both sides on or just the left side on. Turning the control knob clockwise, willswitch both sides on. Turning it anticlockwise, will only switch the left side on. Thenumbers which are displayed indicate the heat setting. Number 4 is the hottest andnumber 1 the coolest.GRILLING SHOULD NOT BE UNDERTAKEN WITH THE GRILL/TOP OVENDOOR CLOSED - This will cause overheating.

The grill will not operate unless the top oven control is in the '0' Offposition.

Grilling procedure1. Open the grill/top oven door fully.2. Position rod shelf as recommended in the chart (next page) for food being cooked.3. Place the grill pan on the rod shelf, ensuring it is positioned centrally under the

element.4. Never line the grill pan with aluminium foil as this may cause overheating of fat in

the grill pan.


HIGH SPEED GRILLGuide to grilling successfully

NOTE:Position 1 is bottom runner from the base of the oven

Grill pan handleThe grill pan handle is detachable from the pan to facilitate cleaning and storage. Fix the pan handlesecurely before use:1. Fit the handle to the grill pan so that the external ‘hooks’ embrace the edge of the pan (fig. 1)2. Make sure that the middle part of the handle fits exactly the protruding support of the pan (fig .2) andholds the pan from the bottom.

The food must be placed on the rack in the grill pan.Position the grill pan on top of the oven rack. The best results are achieved by placing the oven rack on theuppermost shelves. Pouring a little water into the grill pan will make the collection of grease particles moreefficient and prevent the formation of smoke.

WARNING! Ensure when using grill pan handle in the detachable manner it is centralised and secure.

TOP OVEN -CONVENTIONAL COOKING

The heat for conventional cooking in the top oven is provided by the grill element andthe element under the floor of the oven. It is ideal for the slow cooking of cheaper cutsof meat in casseroles etc. but can also be used for small joints of meat up to 1.5kg(3lb).

The operation of the controls is covered on “The Controls”.

See cooking charts for temperatures and shelf positioning.

The top oven can be used either independently to cook small quantities of food or inconjunction with the main oven to provide additional cooking space.

• The shelf should be positioned on the first or second runner from the bottom.

To use the oven proceed as follows:• Set the top oven control to the required temperature, the top oven light will come on

and wait for the thermostat light to go off, indicating that the oven has reached theright temperature.

• The food to be cooked should be placed in the centre of the shelf with a gap of atleast 25mm (1in) between it and the grill element. This should avoid burning andensure even cooking.

• Do not place food or dishes on the floor of the oven.

25 mm (1 in)

Platewarming in the top ovenPlates and dishes placed on shelf 1 of the top oven will be heated when the main ovenis in use.When the main oven is not in use, for instance when a meal is being cooked on thehob, place the plates and serving dishes on the shelf using the bottom runner and turnthe top oven control to approximately 100°C. A maximum time of 10-12 minutes is allthat is required to heat the plates and dishes.

NEVERNEVERNEVERNEVERNEVER operate the grill control when using the top oven for cooking or warmingplates and dishes.

WARNING: DO NOT put delicate items china or items which could beaffected by heat into the oven.


MAIN OVEN- FAN COOKING

The heat for fan cooking in the main oven is provided by an element situated at theback of the oven, around the fan Fan cooking is ideal for large poultry or joints ofmeat, reducing cooking times and often eliminating the need for pre-heating the oven.It is also ideal for batch cooking where food is cooked on more than one level,because the forced circulation of hot air gives an even temperature from the top to thebottom of the oven.The operation of the controls is covered on "The Controls".See cooking charts for temperatures and shelf positioning.

To use the oven proceed as follows:• The shelves should be evenly spaced. To avoid unnecessary cleaning, shelves

which are not in use should be removed from the oven.• Set the main oven control to the required temperature. Preheating is not normally

necessary, but some foods such as bread, scones and Yorkshire pudding dobenefit from being placed in a hot oven (see cooking charts).

• Place the food to be cooked in the centre of each shelf to allow for even aircirculation around the food.


USING THE SLOWCOOK SETTING 'S'

'S' SLOW settingThis is used for slow cooking, keeping food warm and warming plates for short periods.Extra care should be taken when warming bone china, as it may be damaged in a hot oven.

DO NOT place food or plates directly on the oven floor as this could damage both theoven lining and the plates which are being warmed.

Advantages of "SLOW" cooking are:- The oven stays cleaner because there is less splashing.- Timing of food is not as critical, so there is less fear of overcooking.- Inexpensive joints of meat are tenderised.- Fully loading the oven can be economical.- Cooking times can be extended in some cases by up to 2 hours.Bearing in mind these advantages, it makes sense to cook larger quantities of food than requiredand store them in a freezer to be used cold or for re-heating. It is important to follow the guidelinesgiven for preparing food using the Slow Setting 'S'.

Storage and re-heating of food:1. If food is to be frozen or not used immediately, place it in a clean container and cool as soon as

possible.2. Always thaw frozen food completely in the refrigerator before re-heating.3. Always reheat food thoroughly and ensure it is piping hot before serving.4. Only re-heat food once.

Operation:1. Place the prepared food in the main oven and ensure the door is fully closed.2. Select 'S' (Slow Cooking Temperature) by turning Main Oven Temperature Control clockwise

ensuring the oven door is fully closed.

Points to consider when preparing food for "SLOW" cooking:1. Make sure that the dishes to be used will fit into the oven ensuring enough room for air to

circulate.2. All dishes cooked on the slow setting will require a minimum of 6 hours, however, if they are

cooked for 1-2 hours longer then deterioration in their appearance may be noticed.3. Never cook joints of meat over 2.7kg (6 lb) or poultry over 2.0kg (4 lb 8oz). We do not

recommend that joints of meat or poultry are stuffed before cooking on the slow setting.4. To seal in the meat juices, always cook meat or poultry at 170°C for 30 minutes before wrapping

in foil and placing on a rack over a meat tin (to allow good air circulation) before turning thecontrol to the slow setting and cooking immediately.

5. Always ensure that joints of pork and poultry are thoroughly cooked by checking with a meatthermometer before serving.

6. Always thaw frozen foods completely before cooking. We do not recommend placing frozen foodin the oven to cook.

7. Always bring soups, liquids and casseroles to the boil before placing in the oven.8. Ensure that casserole dishes have a good seal (not airtight) and cover food first with foil and

then the lid to prevent loss of moisture.9. Ensure that fruit and vegetables are cut into even sized small pieces to cook properly.10.Always adjust seasoning before serving.11.If using dried red kidney beans it is important that the beans are soaked and then boiled for a

minimum of 10 minutes before using in any dish to destroy any toxins.12.Egg and fish dishes need only 1-5 hours cooking and should be included in day cooking

sessions, where they can be checked from time to time.
